I started Pappas & Richardson, LLC in 1998 with my good friend, Jay Richardson. We have grown into a very successful law firm and our latest success is the Hercules Law Group (HLG). We handle areas of general litigation, criminal defense and business law. We strive to do a thorough job for clients and do whatever we can to get the best possible results.

This was an incredible experience and it has been quite helpful in the handling of my practice.
